Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Add me to the list, girls! I am a perfectionist also and altho I try to control it, I have been that way toooooo long! It seems like Sarc attacks those of us who are way toooo busy and/or perfectionists......... Hugs, Darlene Indiana Re: corrections, additons I'm an anal perfectionist when it comes to my crafts! LOL Now my housework......... WE WON'T GO THERE! , I hear you, kid. My family doesn't believe that I'm a perfectionist, because my house is so cluttered. I've tried to explain that it's kind of like, if I can't get it perfect (which I can't), then I won't do it at all. Or I spend a lot time & effort on one small area, like a bookshelf, and keep that perfect. One of the issues that I've had to work on is this gap between what I want to do & what I can do. I have the same problem in my emotional/spiritual life. It seems that there is such a huge gap between the person I want to be, or think I should be, and the person I am. Might just take a few more years of therapy, you think?!? Ramblin' Rose Moderator A merry heart is good medicine. Proverbs 17:22 .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hmmm, now that raises the question, is the universe trying to send us a message to slow down, lighten up & lay back?
